You've heard me talk about the importance of liver detoxification to heal and transform our body many times. But what about its impact on the mind?

We don't talk about it as much yet, the more I detox, the more I enjoy this aspect of the process the most. The emotional release that can be achieved and the massive liberation that come from it.

In today's episode, I'll discuss:

- How stressors, toxic relationships, past traumas (big or small) stay stuck on the body to fill our rain barrel;

- How the liver holds anger and frustration; 

- How doing the detox rooted in your masculine vs feminine energy can truly impact you;

- What happens to our unprocessed emotions during the fasting days and how each round of detoxing is always different;

- How unresolved emotions get in the way of your healing;

- Tips to optimize your emotional shedding during the detox and bring you closer to that higher version of yourself.

Deciding to start on your health journey takes courage and dedication. It's not an easy road and often requires you to explore the least traveled path. 

As high-achieving women we often expect results right away. We want to feel better immediately, get some energy back and shed the pounds...all within our first week.

The truth is it doesn't always happen like that. The journey to returning to ourself and to healing can be long and sometimes tiring. There's lots of ups but also downs.

Today I'm meeting with Karine Ruel, business coach and former psychotherapist, who I had the pleasure of working with. On this episode we talk about mindset, gratitude, vision and how that can fuel your results. 

You can expect to hear about:

- Consistency and how to anchor new small actions.

- How to find inner motivation to keep moving forward.

- The power of gratitude in the morning and at night: your mind becomes an antenna to attract what you desire.

- How mindset is half of the battle: you can choose to stay a victim or you can choose to be a winner.

- Making your health a priority and how to use your calendar to propel you forward.

- Hold on to that big vision for yourself: ditch the instant gratification.

And so much more goodness!

I have been intrigued lately by the work of Anthony Williams, also known as the Medical Medium. He has a popular cleanse called the Original 3:6:9. I'm a student for life, always researching and finding the best solutions available to heal our symptoms and their root causes.

Anthony William believes that the liver is at the centre of many "dis-ease" and I do agree with him, hence why I always promote the importance of liver detoxification. He got me curious to try this cleanse and see how I would feel compared 

In this episode, you will learn about:

- Why I got intrigued by this cleanse in the first place;

- The premise of this 3:6:9 cleanse to support the liver;

- The concept of radical fats and their impact on health;

- The debate around fruit consumption and celery juice;

- What the cleanse is and what it involves, including the troublemaker foods to avoid;

- How my body felt on this cleanse, the pros and cons as well as my observations;

- Would I do it again and how it compares to the liver detox protocol I recommend.

If you feel called to detox, be sure to check Summer Queen - The Intensive starting in June 2023! We will detox all together in a sacred community.

Sleep is critical to your health. I know it, you know it, we all know it. But what if, despite all your best efforts, the quality of your sleep just isn't there? 

Sometimes, we do everything to improve our sleep: taking supplements, calming our nervous system, etc. Yet - we forget about immediate environment: our bedroom.

In today's episode, I'm shedding light on 3 things you absolutely must address in order to elevate the quality of your sleep. I will tell you exactly what and how to improve these 3 key factors:

- Light and sounds

- Radiation surrounding you 

- The air you breathe

Be sure to tune back to episode 17 to make sure you also address whether or not you're a mouth breather.

When trying to heal ourselves, one often overlooked piece is our thoughts. What is our narrative, the limiting beliefs that are holding us back from honouring our true nature?

If you've been feeling stuck despite all your best efforts, perhaps it's time to look under the hood and see what thoughts are hiding in there. And yes, it can get scary under there sometimes!

To discuss and debunk what these limiting beliefs are, I have the pleasure of discussing with psychotherapist Danita Harty. Danita has helped me tremendously in my own healing journey and addressing what I feel was the missing link.

In this episode, Danita and I discuss:

- What are limiting beliefs and how they impact our life by becoming your story;

- How these limiting beliefs can create physical health symptoms;

- How to build awareness around these thoughts so we can set ourselves free;

- What brain tapping and EMDR techniques are and how Danita helped me reprocess my birthing experiences;

- How to address trauma (big and small T trauma) and start reconnecting with our body;

And so much more!

SHOW NOTES

Weather is getting warmer, patio season is slowly opening and with that comes the topic of alcohol...a glass of rosé anyone? Today I'm sharing more on my relationship with alcohol and why I personally have decided to pause it. 

It happened naturally to be honest. I started my detoxing and healing protocols not putting much thought into whether I would keep drinking or not. I never was a big drinker to begin with - simply because I noticed a while back how it was impacting me.

In this episode, I'm carefully sharing the motives behind my own decision to pause alcohol for now. I'm saying carefully because interestingly, it's a topic that some can get very defensive about. As if deciding not to drink meant deciding not to enjoy life...I'll share more about this in today's show.

I'm approaching this topic today because I think we simply don't discuss it enough. I'm not holding judgement but rather sharing what works for me in the season I'm in! 

I'll share more on:

- The symptoms I noticed were correlated with my alcohol intake and how that became a decision factor; 

- What is alcohol and its known impact on health; 

- How alcohol fits (or not) into my big WHY;

- How to navigate the social pressure that comes with deciding to pause alcohol;

- An invitation to reflect on your relationship with alcohol.

I hope today's episode will bring you some awareness and perhaps help you re-think your own relationship with alcohol.

As always, if this was helpful, feel free to leave me a review on Apple Podcast or share with a friend that needs to hear about this :)

You've decided that you were ready to make some changes to your lifestyle but then you wonder: what do I with the rest of my family? Do I bring them onboard with me? Do I do my own thing?

In this episode, I'm sharing how I approach our wellness lifestyle with our kids so that I don't feel like it's a burden but rather, our "modus operandi".

Balance is important as well as honoring everyone's desires on the journey - of course we don't all have the same goals. But I really believe in holding the space. Creating the favourable environment for the seeds to grow.

I share with you 4 tips that will go a long way:

1- Feed their curiosity;

2- Let them try;

3- Empower them through the feeling of choice;

4- Trust the impact of seeing you with energy.

Our family is far from perfect and we're navigating this health journey daily to the best of our ability, but I can assure you that these 4 tips make a big difference.
